In general, the most noticeable difference between the two years is the shift from a higher proportion of staff with qualifications in the “Art” fields to those in “Science.” Additionally, there is a slight overall increase in the number of highly qualified staff members over the 20-year period.
In 1990, the largest proportion of staff had a Master’s degree in Art (30%), followed by those with a First Degree in Art (25%). A considerable percentage of employees also held a Master’s degree in Science (20%), and the remaining staff were split between qualifications in Ph.D.-Art (10%), Ph.D.-Science (5%), and First Degree-Science (10%).
By 2010, the distribution had changed. The proportion of staff with a First Degree in Science and a Master’s degree in Science both rose significantly, reaching 25% and 30%, respectively. Meanwhile, those with qualifications in Art, including First Degree-Art and Master-Art, decreased to 20% and 15%, respectively. Staff with Ph.D.-Art qualifications remained relatively stable at 10%, but there was a noticeable increase in the percentage of employees with Ph.D.-Science qualifications, which rose to 10% in 2010.
Overall, the trends suggest a growing emphasis on qualifications in Science-related fields in 2010 compared to 1990, while the proportion of employees in the Art fields decreased over the two decades.
